"On Thursday, Israel Radio reported that a Jewish woman in Isfahan, Iran, was murdered and cut in half by Muslim extremists who wanted to take over her home.

Israel Radio said that according to relatives, the woman lived next to a newly built mosque, and worshippers "had demanded that she and her family leave their home so the mosque could be expanded.""

I think the reason it's getting no coverage is because it's propaganda. A more credible news source would be helpful to your cause. But let's assume for a second that it's true. So basically Iran has adopted Israel's settlement policy. Well isn't that a bite in the arse. At least when the IDF tell the Palestinians they must leave their homes. They're smart enough to leave and the ones that aren't usually end up dead. Soooooo, is this where we decide there is absolutely nothing wrong this type of Expansion Policy? If Israel does it there can't possibly be anything wrong with it.

UPI has the story.

A Jewish woman was stabbed to death in Isfahan, Iran, in what her family said was a religiously motivated crime.

Menashe Amir, an Iranian Jewry expert, told The Times of Israel the 57-year-old woman, identified as Tuba N., was killed Monday, allegedly by her Muslim neighbors, who had been trying to drive the family from their home and confiscate their property, which is adjacent to a mosque.

This report says her hands were cut off, not that she was cut in half.

What does this have to do with Israel? Oh right Jewish.

If a Jewish person is the victim of a crime anywhere, did they have it coming because of Israel? There's a word for people like you...

They story may indeed be true and is indeed a horrible example of religious extremism, but UPI is yet another Unification Church~News World Communications concern like the Washington Times since they purchased it.

Here's a report from Iranian sources

Iranian Jewish lawmaker Siamak Mareh-Sedq says burglary is behind the murder of a 57-year-old Jewish woman in the central city of Isfahan, Press TV reports. In an exclusive interview, Mareh-Sedq rejected as “ridiculous” the claims by certain media outlets that “she was killed because she refused to vacate her house in order to expand the building of a neighboring mosque.”

...

According to the Iranian Jewish lawmaker, police have arrested four suspects so far.

Also speaking to Press TV, Iranian Christian Lawmaker Robert Beglarian stated that no one has ever been killed in Iran because of his or her religious beliefs and values. He also rejected as “political” the claims by foreign media that Mrs. Tuba N. was killed because of her faith.

Unfortunately, Iran is not known for freedom of the press.

The comments are rather interesting, especially the person who claims there are a lot of Zionist Jews in the "saudi entity".

So it wasn't ~ at least by all accounts ~ an act of religious extremism or persecution as reported by the right~wing "news" media, and four arrests have been made so far.

Octoburn--

Not sure how trustworthy PressTV is, but then, the same could be said about the contention the woman was "cut in half."

Werewolves are unaffected by crosses. Its Silver Bullets they can't stand.

Whew!

Not cut in half, only got her hands cut off.

Someone had better brush up on their fractions.
